Bunny breeding!

[the_peanut_coop]

I am going to start breeding bunnies as soon as mine get mature enough. I know exactly how, and I've done lots and lots of research, but do y'all bunny breeders have any super-special need-to-know advice.

Btw, I know what I'm gonna do with the babies!

How exciting!
What breed(s)? Pictures? For pets or meat? What's their setup like? Are you just going to breed a few or are you planning on starting a business doing this?

What's your plan?

In my honest opinion, I'd never breed rabbits (unless they are for meat). There are already WAY too many rabbits in the world. So many in shelters, abandoned, and unwanted. This Easter the shelters will be empty, but 3-6 weeks later, they will be OVERFLOWING with bunnies. People realize they get big, expensive, and not as cute. It's very sad.... I don't think we need any more rabbits right now. But still, what's your plan?

Me and my friend are already setting up and making plans for a rabbity cafe, where you can drink hot chocolate and pet bunnies. they will also be up for adoption, but i'm hoping to cling to a couple to keep breeding! Also I think bunnies are cute, even grandma bunnies.

That sounds like a fun idea..... just please make sure they all go to good homes.

We used to breed for meat and show, but stoped when we couldn't even give away ones that had placed in a show (a feat considering there are 5 placings and usually at least 20 wonderfully close to standard rabbits, not mutts like you get in the petstore) these rabbits normally would go for close to 100$ but we couldn't even give them away so we had to process them too.

Planning on people just wandering in to adopt isn't a very solid plan, and I'm not sure if legally those cafes are allowed anymore due to allergies (you would think it's common sense to not go into one if you're allergic but apparently it's not)
